Why does a woman in Kenya lose her life simply for being a woman? This report explores the devastating impact of gender-based violence through the stories of two families fighting for justice.
A mother is stabbed to death in front of her children, leaving them orphaned and facing a court process that could take years. We also follow the case of 10-year-old Mary Wambui, allegedly abused and murdered by a neighbor her family trusted. Three years after her death, her mother continues to relive the trauma as she waits for justice and fears for her remaining children.
With no national database tracking femicide victims, activists across Kenya are demanding action. We meet the women determined to ensure every victim is counted and calling for femicide to be recognized as a national emergency.
